"The Young man, born to this age
of speed, can receive all the excitement he desires in a
rush across country in a tank, which will carry him on
the modern battlefield much more safely and effectively
than the horse.
The mechanisation of the Cavalry may have come as a blow
to the horse lover, but, though the horse has been
replaced by an armoured vehicle, the esprit de corps
and the great fighting traditions of our Cavalry remain
stronger than ever."Quote from a book on the
Royal Armoured Corps
